ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - The work at Joyce Field saw impressive additions made this past week as construction crews moved forward with the installation of the turf to the home of Bonnies softball.

The field is being converted to A-Turf Titan, which is the same artificial turf installed on St. Bonaventure's multi-purpose athletics field last summer. Construction crews began laying the turf on Monday and continued through the week under favorable weather conditions. The addition of the turf joins previous installations of the new scoreboard, foundations for dugouts and drainage systems in previous weeks. 

Charles Joyce of Wellsville, N.Y., and his family provided the lead gift for the project. The Joyces have been longtime benefactors of St. Bonaventure. Mr. Joyce is president and CEO of Otis Eastern Service LLC in Wellsville, which is one of the leading oil and gas pipeline construction companies in the northeast U.S.

The project remains on target to be completed at the end of October or early November.
